Fokker Dr.1 – Part One – Brothers…19 Years Apart
Recently I bought an Airfix Dogfight Double Vintage Classic kit that promised a Bristol fighter as well as a Fokker triplane. It was a mis-box – I got two Bristols ( Stop thinking of Barbara Windsor… ) but no Fokker. ( Stop, Stop. Just stop thinking of the lovely Carry On lady… ) A friend…

The responses were 2% laughter, 58% incomprehension, 38% serious scolding, and 2% vitriol. This for a 1:35 plastic Sherman tank. Needless to say nearly all the negative responses were from…

None of My Work Is Written With Artificial Intelligence
It is pure, natural stupidity. I have what is apparently an inexhaustible supply of this and it seems a shame to waste the opportunity to turn it to good use. I have long since ceased to plague the general populace in a professional sense and even my trade days are done. Now I just build…
